Here are the Reactions of Twitterati to the Video:

This situation is insane and critical to the natural ecosystem there. Local authorities should be able to solve the problem and prevent further damage.Waste management time with efficient maintenance service is one option but also other potential measures to cope with this issue.

Hypocrisy Pointed Out by a User:

I wonder how many of these climbers pretend to be naturalist & environmentalists. Pretending to care about the mountains they climb. But in reality that only care about their own selfish & personal endeavors. What hypocrites .

Another Reaction of a Twitter User:

Everyone should pay a fee with each permit that could be used to pay sherpas to carry any waste down, if sherpas were to accept such an offer as work. They should be paid excellent salaries. 2. option that exped equipment is weighed and teams have to bring back same weight.

A Solution Given by a User:

If I was involved in management, I would try to get capex so that I can make this place clean initially as well as install infrastructure to clear waste be it dustbins or systems to remove garbage from dustbin, once thats done, impose stricter fines. not an expert but my 2 cents

Angry Reaction of Twitterati:

Shameful! Majority of theseAmeteurs pay to climb / Insta crowd. Going forward costs should include another couple of thousand per person for complete thrash https://t.co/YfyiJwr0BJ will discourage the so called thrill seekers who have no experience climbing no respect for nature
